How I feel about this character: I have such mixed feelings about Karen. On one hand, she's not the most likeable character in the world. She's not a particularly kind person. On the other hand, Lip is absolutely awful to her, her dad is terrible, and as great as Sheila is she's not the best mother in the world. So I guess it's safe to say that I don't like her very much, but I sympathize with her a lot and I hate to see people blindly hating on her because of Lip. I also get sad because my favourite character hit her with a car. :(
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Mandy 120% Lip is awful to both of them I don't really ship her with anyone else??
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Can I say Sheila?? I just really want them to fix their relationship and for Sheila to realize that she was a huge part of what made Karen so bitter and unhappy. Also I want her and Ian to be friends.
My unpopular opinion about this character: Um, I think it's kind of cool that she's so empowered and unashamed of her sex life? I don't know if that's unpopular but I see a lot of people calling her a slut...
One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: THAT HER AND LIP WOULD HAVE BEEN 100% OVER LIKE TWO SEASONS AGO. And then Mandy would realize that he's an asshole to her too, and then they could make out and never end up hitting each other with cars. I'd also like to see her have scenes with people other than her family/Lip. How would she get along with Mickey? Kevin/Vee? Hell, even Frank!
